Instructions for better hearing

From all the above I believe now that you are more informed and prepared to deal with your hearing problem. Do not wait, the faster you wear a headset the easier it becomes. The adaptation of the hearing instrument to a headset decreases over time. This is because the brain simply forgets how to listen normally.

Below I will list a guide that I hope will help you.

First of all, find a professional who specializes in this part. He could be an otolaryngologist, an audiologist.

They will examine your ears for possible natural causes of hearing loss, such as e.g. if your ear has wax or if there is an infection or anything else. There will also be a hearing test to measure what loss there is and at what frequencies. It is also important to do a speech audiometry. The whole process is easy, it does not hurt and it does not take long. Only then will a solution be found that suits your needs. Also do not hesitate to ask any question as simple as it is.

Select the handset to put on. Depending on the results of the measurements, the hearing aid will suggest some solutions that will meet your personal needs. Do not hesitate to do your research, as well as for the available solutions and maybe compare the prices in other stores. Also ask about the money covered by your insurance company. If you choose a headset that fits in your ear you will need to get a fingerprint, which will be an exact copy of your ear. This will be sent to the company that will manufacture the handset.
After a few days the handset will be ready. Your next appointment with your hearing care professional will be to schedule the handset. The programming is done with a computer based on the audiogram and your own observations. The hearing aid will teach you how to operate your headset and how to listen better in a different environment. It will also show you how to insert and remove the headset from your ear safely. Wear the new headphones for a few days in your own space (home), in your own environment. You can also take some notes and record the first impressions of some sounds that may be bothering you. With your remarks at the next appointment with your hearing aid you will be able to change some settings so that you can hear even better. Learning to listen with hearing aids takes some time and definitely patience in the beginning. You may need to remember some sounds that you did not hear for a long time. You also need to learn to ignore loud noises just as you did when you had normal hearing. It is also important to be realistic and not expect 100 percent hearing in every situation. Your own feedback will help optimize your hearing aids. Your earplugger will instruct you and show you how to clean and care for your headphones and how to use the battery properly.
